Fairest child of fairest mother, God, the Lord who came to earth, Word made flesh, our very brother, takes our nature by his birth. Sing of Jesus, Son of Mary, in the home at Nazareth. Toil and labor cannot weary Love enduring unto death, Constant was the love he gave her, Though he went forth from her side, Forth to preach and heal and suffer, Till on Calvary he died. Glory be to God the Father; Glory be to God the Son; Glory be to God the Spirit; Glory to the Three in One. From the heart of blessed Mary, From all the saints the song ascends, And the Church the strain re-echoes Unto the earth’s remotest ends.

    The Holy See LE PELERINAGE DE LOURDESENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS XII WARNING AGAINST MATERIALISM ON THE CENTENARY OF THE APPARITIONS AT LOURDES TO THE CARDINALS, ARCHBISHOPS, AND BISHOPS OF FRANCE IN PEACE AND COMMUNION WITH THE APOSTOLIC SEE Beloved Sons and Venerable Brethren, Greetings and Apostolic Benediction. Deep in our soul are profound and pleasant memories of the pilgrimage to Lourdes which We had the privilege of making when We went to preside, in the name of Our Predecessor, Pius XI, over the Eucharistic and Marian celebrations marking the close of the Jubilee of the Redemption. 2. We are particularly pleased, therefore, to learn that, on the initiative of the Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, this Marian city is preparing an appropriate celebration for the centenary of the apparitions of the Immaculate Virgin at the grotto of Massabielle, and that an international committee has been set up for this purpose under the presidency of His Eminence Eugene Cardinal Tisserant, Dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals. 3. We wish to join with you, Beloved Sons and Venerable Brothers, in thanking God for the great favor granted your country, and for the many graces He has bestowed on multitudes of pilgrims during the past century. 4. We wish to invite all Our children to renew in this jubilee year their confident and generous devotion to her who, in the words of Saint Pius X, deigned to establish at Lourdes "the seat of her immense kindness."[1] 5. Every Christian land is a Marian land; there is not a nation redeemed in the blood of Christ which does not glory in proclaiming Mary its Mother and Patroness.

  • Virgins, Mothers, and Whores: Female Archetypes in Gabriel García Márquez’S Cien Años De Soledad (1967) and Isabel Allende’S La Casa De Los Espíritus (1982)
    Virgins, Mothers, and Whores: Female Archetypes in Gabriel García Márquez’s Cien Años de Soledad (1967) and Isabel Allende’s La Casa de los Espíritus (1982) Vera Burrows Virgins, Mothers, and Whores: Female Archetypes in Gabriel García Márquez’s Cien Años de Soledad 1 (1967) and Isabel Allende’s La Casa de los Espíritus2 (1982) Vera Burrows Abstract: In “Literary Archetypes and Female Role Alterna- tives: Te Woman and the Novel in Latin America,” Jane S. Jaquette divides the female characters in García Márquez’s Cien Años de Soledad into three archetypes: Mother, Witch/Myste- rious Woman, and Wife/Concubine. Jaquette’s proposal is a departure from the traditional archetypes of women in Latin American literature of the Virgin, the Mother, and the Whore, all of which have their genesis in biblical literature. Unfortu- nately, Jaquette’s archetypal schema is inadequate, for only a few of Cien Años’s characters manage to ft into her three categories; she ignores important main characters that are neither mothers, nor witches, nor wives. Tis paper explores the archetypes of the Virgin, the Mother, and the Whore, and how García Márquez applied and bent these traditional female roles in his classic Cien Años de Soledad (1967). Tis paper also explores how García Márquez’s novel laid the groundwork for Isabel Allende’s La Casa de los Espíritus (1982), which delved deeply into the psyche of these female archetypes—and broke them. Keywords: female, archetypes, mother, virgin, whore, female roles 75 Te female archetypes of the Virgin, the Mother, and the sexual activity. If they never have sex at all, they fall under the Whore have their roots in the Bible and re-surfaced in art and Virgin archetype, thus warranting a societal expectation of cer- literature during the medieval period.

  • The Cult of St. Philomena in Nineteenth Century France: Art and Ideology
    THE CULT OF ST. PHILOMENA IN NINETEENTH CENTURY FRANCE: ART AND IDEOLOGY NANCY DAVENPORT University of the Arts phenomenal scale of the widespread devotion, born of popular Thepiety and nurtured by French nineteenth century Ultramontane ideol- ogy, to an Early Christian martyr named Philomena is incontrovertible. The historical foundation for this devotion, the vita sancta, of a young Greek Christian who had refused the advances of the Emperor Diocletian in Rome and was, as a result, martyred in "the most severe and tragic manner" on his orders, is debatable.' Nonetheless, irrespective of fact or fiction or perhaps because of their indeterminacy, the cult of Philomena, a name often remarked on as meaning Bringer of Light, provides a model, similar to those at Lourdes and La Salette in the same period, of the way that unquestion- ing faith, when supported by a political agenda, could inspire an entire nation in the post-Enlightenment period. Wrote her devoted biographer, Jean Darche, early in this century, "Le monde est aveugle, est ignorant parce qu'il est orgueilleux, sensuel, avare et indifferent, et Philomene lui donne 1'exemple de la plus profonde humilite, de la plus parfaite mortification, du plus entier detachement, du plus grand zele pour la gloire de Dieu In the strictest sense of the standard vita sancta, what was singular about Philomena? To begin with, while she was similar to Bernadette of Lourdes or Therese of Lisieux in being young, female, innocent, and unworldly - in every respect a pure vessel for the transmission of heavenly grace - the latter two were known to be persons of flesh and blood locat- ed in time and space, whereas the 'person' Philomena was simply a con- struction : a generic Early Christian Virgin Martyr, formulated from the dreams of a pious nineteenth century Sicilian tertiary, Suor Maria Luisa di Gesu.

  • Understanding Sainthood
    Chapter 1 Understanding Sainthood In This Chapter ▶ Defining what it means to be a saint ▶ Looking at the canonization process and how it has changed ▶ Honoring and celebrating the saints ▶ Following the examples set forth by the saints n this chapter, we discuss the idea of sainthood in general, especially Ihow the Catholic Church understands the notion of holiness in its mem- bers. We take you through the canonization process and explain how it has evolved over the centuries. We explain how saints are venerated, and we dis- cuss the unique role patron saints can play in your spiritual life. Finally, we examine the reasons for pursuing a saintly life and the means to achieve it. Ordinary Saints versus Official Saints In the Catholic Church, anyone who goes to heaven is considered a saint. Those who make it to heaven but are never canonized are still as saintly as those named so by the pope; in fact, the unnamed and unnumbered saints in heaven are in the majority, and God alone knows who they are and how numerous. These ordinary saints lived normal lives but did so with faith in and love for the Lord. Official saints, on the other hand, are men and women who livedCOPYRIGHTED lives worthy of recognition, honor, MATERIAL and imitation. The Catholic Church has never taught that a person has to be perfect or sinless to get to heaven. In fact, it teaches that every man and woman who has been born since Adam and Eve (except for the Virgin Mary, by a special divine grace from God) suffers from the effects of original sin.

This Calendar is used by authors of ordines and other liturgical aids published to foster the celebration of the liturgy in our country. The Calendar is based upon the General Roman Calendar, promulgated by Pope Saint Paul VI on February 14, 1969, subsequently amended by the Holy See, and the Proper Calendar for the Dioceses of the United States of America, approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.1 This Calendar has been updated to reflect the names and titles of the various liturgical days in conformity with the Roman Missal, Third Edition. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal reminds us that in the cycles of readings and prayers proclaimed throughout the year in the sacred liturgy “the mysteries of redemption are celebrated so as to be in some way made present.” Thus may each celebration of the Holy Eucharist which is served by this Calendar be for the Church in the United States of America “the high point both of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit.”2 Sincerely in Christ, Rev.

He went there before the feast of the Assumption of the glorious Virgin Mary, and he counted the days from the feast of Saint Mary to the feast of Saint Michael, which are forty days, and he said: “I want to make a Lent here, in honor of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, His mother, and blessed Michael, the prince of angels and of souls.” [p. 226] He often said that Blessed Michael should be especially honored because his duty is presenting souls to God. In honor of Saint Michael he would fast with great devotion for forty days between the Feast of the Assumption and St.

  • Protestant Competition Is Good for Saints Protestant Competition Is Good for Saints
    Protestant Competition is Good for Saints Protestant Competition is Good for Saints Robert J. Barro and Rachel M. McCleary Harvard University Saints are a major point of disagreement between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant faiths. During the Protestant Reformation in the early 1500s, the Catholic doctrine of the intercessory power of saints was theologically denied by Martin Luther and John Calvin on the grounds of justification by faith alone in Jesus Christ.1 The Catholic Church’s position on saints, particularly as agents for souls in purgatory, created a “soul-prayer industry,” whereby indulgences funded a variety of religious activities and institutions. Notable here were chantry foundations, which provided an endowment for the purpose of employing priests to sing masses to benefit the souls of deceased persons.2 Protestantism, by contrast, rejected belief in purgatory and the mediating power of saints. One reason the Catholic Church maintained the cult of saints throughout the centuries is to energize the Catholic membership. The nomination of candidates for sainthood begins in a local context with a cult of worshippers. The variety and specialization of would-be saints are products of the local demand for veneration.3 This process allows changes in regional preferences to be reflected in the choices of individuals nominated for sainthood. 1Philip Melanchthon, a close friend of Martin Luther and a Professor of New Testament at Wittenberg University, drafted a common confession for the Lutheran Lords and Free Territories. Known as the Augsburg Confession, the document was presented to Emperor Charles V on June 25, 1530. Article 21 of the Augsburg Confession states: "Scripture does not teach us to invoke the Saints, or to ask for help from the Saints; for it puts before us Christ as the one mediator, propitiatory, high-priest and intercessor." 2The term “soul-prayer industry” comes from Diarmaid MacCulloch, The Reformation: A History (New York, Viking Press, 2003) p.
